If it's a wu wei state is the movement spontaneously generated? How to be wuwei in a form? Then again, between the form the transitions creates a flow pattern that turns a general principle into standing and periodic wave patterns. Like a buckminster fully epicote chi dome. A "state" of being.... Thanks TM. That's like mind gung or something. We call it Placing the Crown. Full Lotus is a crazy position. It's like an energetic pyramid. Now the big question, why arrest Falun Gung for practicing in public? What makes them different from some wudang guy doing a chi gung demonstration? No freedom of expression/movement? How lucky we are to live in a place we may move (worship) in ways that are fullfilling to us. I was just exposed to Luo-Han 18 Hands(?) for the first time 3 weeks ago. Connected at all? Rain I've heard similar numbers on how many different forms of chi gung there are. Shifu Lily Sui of the Immortal School of Acupuncture in Honolulu says over 8000. Always the breath though, dnuthk?

Whats the average temp in Sedona around November time of year?

post birth breathing first.

Did someone say Sedona?

A reality not specific to kunlun practice.

Practice daily. Eat Seasonally. Fast Occasionally. Medicine can be poison. Poison can be medicine. Food is the most powerful drug. Spectrum

Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. If the compulsions of LIFE hinder your cultivation then change them. My question would be does your compulsion towards cultivation hinder your LIFE? Cultivation enhances life, so you might actually feel MORE, instead of less. Yet how else would one go about building a fire in the furnace with no fuel? (jing) It's a very natural thing. As waxing and waning with the moon. Don't take it to serious, it's only life and death. It always is, even w/ sex, so take it as seriously as you take sex. <innocent smile> You always start where you left off. I think the main "Problem" encuntered here is that humans have a hard time keeping their hands/mind off things for long enough to experience the internally generated patterns that are being externally reinforced. Observation and non-attachment to perceived outcomes helps people go within by living without. Fasting can save your life, Spectrum

Trunk: Here is an excerpt from one of the last essays in the following text: "Fundamentals of Tai Chi Chuan" by Wen-Shan Huang 1973 - pg508 Excerpt from "Ten Fundamental Points for Success in Cultural Breathing Rhythms" c: An exercise which claims such benefits affecting body, mind and spirit simultaneously, must embody a right attitude, and particularly, a right living. Hence it is necessary to (1) appreciate and practice a harmonized diet: (2) recognize the value of early to bed and early to rise; and (3) develop a self discipline for the practice of high morality and the actualization of "absolute love" for an "organic humanity" e: Observe that at the end of all victory over circumstance, one must gradually develop the one universal remedy for overcoming laziness, that is persistence and patience. g: Learn to cultivate the Chi without inserting force and tension by practicing the Long Breathing. ... h: Practice stage by stage. The Preparatory stage is to cultivate the Chi while the Transitory stage is to start the Chi and to circulate through the whole body according to your will or imagination with a view to harmonziing it with the mind. "The highest stage is to actualize the principle of the "harmony of the Shen (spirit) and Mei (channels)" in order to utilize the Chi in restoring the Yin-Yang Equilibrium in the physiology of metabolism and in maintaining Glowing Health. ... j: To work without weariness, with easy proficiency, and especially "to be in harmony" with the Chi, the Shen and the Mei, are goals everybody desires. Finally do not forget that the main objective is the attainment of the 'Five Communications' (passages) which consist of: Te communication of the Chi, the Communication of the Heat, the Communication in the Anterior, the Communication in the Posterior and the Communication in the Whole Body, (Total Communication or Passage). When no obstruction is to be encountered, an appropriate maturity level has already been attained. Michi, Spectrum

Precessionally Anomalous? I'm sorry but your observations and assumptions beg for inquiry, my question stands by itself. Others will ask you as well. Stillness of mind through interrupted pattern dialog is only one way. Stillness as a reference for refinement and meditation is not my way of telling you to shut up, if you took it that way. "...Stillness is the mother of eternal movement."-Wang Spectrum

Trunk, Nice post. Good Points on Stillness. As in Harmonizing the Mei channel w/ Shen?

Get some periodic alone time. Every day, Every Week, Every Month, Every Year. Don't let to much time pass before you reset your brain. Living in cities sets you in motion at a certain pace. This pace (and information overload) is important to get away from periodically. Like I said, it can be small, like once a day morning or night, forget about time, return to origin. Or a long hike once every year or something to clear the air. You have to define your space clearly and defend your boundaries when people cross them. Spectrum

Whens the last time you didn't think about anything for a sustained period of time? How long? Spectrum

Has anyone touched hands with any of these guys? Spectrum

Food <shrug> Gotta live with it. Eat Rice was just another way to say eat things that make your body feel good for more than the 15 minutes it takes to eat it. Regular exercise will regulate your metabolic cycles which is grounding for the other fundamentals of air, gait & food. Spectrum

Eat Rice= Quality Food & Train= Physical training is grounding. Chi cultivation training w/o a ground is ludicris. It breaks the ground rules. There is a logical sequence to training that involves what some call "foundation" or what I was taught is "wuji". It involves the cross latched support of meditation, circulation & physical grounding. Eventually and Ideally these are done simultaneously, but at the start they are seperate while we discern energies. I have been quietly observing Cam's dialog. Not to critisize, but to observe an awakening/hack process. Reason why I call it a hack is that it seems non-traditional in the sense that the safety nets usually in place for individuals on the path have been improvised or removed. I think your hack out of the matrix is resourcful, however risky because if I am correct in assuming, you're not exactly living outside of the normal realm of societies influence. I am also assuming your putting GOOD fuel in the furnace. IE : Brown Rice! Once you change vibrational state the food you eat and the water you drink will make a HUGE difference in how you feel and your circulation cycles. Routine exercise is of utmost importance. When I first started training my teacher said to me that I was going to need to relearn some things I took for granted. How to Breath. How to Walk & How to Eat. So Simple, so profound. Why? Eat Rice. Train. Work. Repeat. Spectrum Ether that or Press the Button every 108 minutes?

Not sure what to say here really.

Where is Chen in November? You don't need to find a job. Eat Rice and Train.

Wudang of coarse. Where is it?

Have you found an instrument and started playing? That might answer some of these question/statement/paradox realizations your halving. Ionized water also responds well to more organized vibrations. Smaller water clusters. Super Hydration? Good for the kidneys. Since it seems like you're in a heightened state of awareness as of late I would bet you would easily feel the hydration effects.
